In pursuit of organization and productivity

It's been a week since my last post, but it hardly feels like it. I've been spending way too much time researching productivity apps and websites, and not enough time on actual productivity. I'm hoping the time investment now will pay off in the future.

I've had a week of using Remember the Milk and a nifty app called Pomodroido.  They are a good combination.  Remember the Milk keeps track of my to-do lists and sends me text reminders when something is due in an hour, and at the time it is due. Pomodroido helps to keep me focused on what I am supposed to be doing, but allows me little breaks every so often.

Today I installed Evernote... I'm hoping this could be the demise of little scraps of paper all over the apartment... I'll post an update after I've had a chance to really put it to use.

The only thing missing now is some way to keep track of projects, such as my dissertation... I'm currently reviewing my options, but am leaning strongly towards Producteev.

That's it for now. I'm in the process of moving, and I have a ton of work to do before a meeting with my advisor Monday... back to work!
